Hello,
I am 2x greatgrandaughter of Mary Murphy from Killeentiera Catholic Parish, with residence in Gloundhaeagh, County Kerry.
I believe she has a at least the following siblings Ellen and John and perhaps more.
She moved to the United States settling in Spencer, Massachusetts, and later moved to Chicago.
She married James O'Connor, in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. We are still yet unclear if these familes knew each other in Ireland. I am currently researching that.
If this information is of interest to you, or you have more infomation that you like to share--I would appreciate it. Direct email karenk94043@gmail.com Kind Regards. Karen Kalvelage/Silicon Valley, California

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
www.irishgenealogy.ie is a free Irish government site which has the baptismal and marriage records for Co. Kerry. I would search there for additional records. You can also search the parish register for Killeentierna which goes back to 1801. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0664

Thank you so much. So great to be on the heals of finding these relatives from Ireland. Had my DNA tested and I actually have a higher concentration of Irish DNA than my siblings.

Not sure which company you tested with. You may want to look into Gedmatch www.gedmatch.com Gedmatch is a volunteer run web site which allows you to upload your raw DNA data and match with those who tested with another company and also loaded their data to Gedmatch. It expands your matching universe.

Great information on the DNA--I did this through Ancestry.com, and I will see if I can get the information over to gedmatch.com
Thank you.
